The Most TRICKED OUT Bass Boat You've EVER Seen...

[@angiespencer4156]

The G man predicted you would win the bass master classic ,he said so on Mercer show, that’s pretty awesome coming from someone like him !😊

[@justincopley1061]

i heard that this morning if G man thinks he can do it that’s good

[@scottjacopian3191]

My money's on Ben$$ also!

[@zachpatch8450]

It'll happen. It might be this one, might be the next one, or the one after, hell might be the next 3. You never know, but I do know it's gonna happen.

[@bink_nation]

Facts! #MILLIKEN4PRESIDENT

[@dustinwright4601]

If grand don’t flood he will win 🥇

[@MealeyMarine]

Thanks for the opportunity big dog!

[@jaydeewatts8543]

70k truck+150k boat.... To catch bass.... And people say this isn't a rich man's sport now.

[@greasycocksman8969]

Get a new comment, its been beat to death. If you had the cash instead of selling your asshole downtown for a few cheeseburgers you'd do the same thing

[@markstricklin3696]

$70,000 truck? lol a decent used one maybe

[@robertwhite6106]

Sponcers and theres no money in it if you dont finish the top 50

[@jimmywallhanger8402]

You can get an ugly stick and chair and sit on a bank

[@chrisrhame6364]

What a great rig!!! Thanks for giving the shout out to Mealey Marine - they are great guys over there.

[@MealeyMarine]

Thanks Chris!

[@nathancollins22]

Wow Michael and Mealey Marine killed it 🔥🔥

[@timndel]

Bro, that power wiring alone makes that rig an Elite Master Rig. The amount of thinking and the amount of elbow grease put into this design is simply astounding. While I'm sure you're bound to make a couple of changes once put under it's paces, I'm pretty sure your first few runs are gonna leave you flabbergasted.

[@MealeyMarine]

Thank you sir!

[@MillikenFishing]

You aren't kiddin!!

[@fishwhisper4388]

Randy is so proud of u bud!!

[@jddarby007]

[@15trucklt83]

Sick Basscat man. Cant wait to see the first trip and see how well it performs for you. Also stoked to see how the new FFS transducers work for you. Just stoked in general to see you fishing the elites and everything you have going on man. I’ll be watching and rooting for you from PA!!!

[@jthetreasurefiend201]

I am so stoked about everything you got going on. The company I work for does a large amount of the parts on the Ultrex. We also do parts on the Raptors. To know you are using these products makes me feel like I'm playing a part in the team. I may have even worked on the very equipment you are using. We will be cheering you on this season. Cheers from Wisconsin. If you get up this way I'll talk to the owners about a walk through of the factory

[@Roadster32]

I believe you made the right choice on your new ride! In your reveal video I knew what brand it was just by how you talked about the people who built it! What an honor for you to get to live fishing through a family like Basscat! That is truly a great family to be apart of and who better to have your back on the water! Congrats and I can’t wait to see all the adventures for the upcoming season!!

[@codem0de]

I watched Mealey Sr and Jr restore some classic boats. They do excellent work, I was stoked to see you link up with them!

[@ThomasShue]

MY MAN! You’ll win an elite event this year. Man what a Beautiful boat!

[@grumpymealey2441]

Outstanding video really enjoyed working with you and Michael on this

[@richiehassel3016]

dude the front of your boat is insane, so glad to see you partner up with johnson outdoors. Youngstown State the team is fish for is also sponsored by Johnson! welcome to the team!

[@deline8ed619]

Can tell you’re stoked with the new boat and setup.! Stoked for you.!! You deserve it. Another great video with the insight. Thanks guys!!

[@mrlrgmouth3692]

Ive been following mealy marine longer than ive been following you . They have been progressing with the technology just as fast as its coming out . Glad you went with them

[@ThomasShue]

The crappie brakes need to link into spot lock and act as bow thrusters to keep you in a specific orientation in any conditions that the motors are capable of holding in.

[@jeffporter100]

Man…great thinking outside the box on the setup! I love it!I’m anxious to see how it runs with all of the added and shifted weight from the typical setup. 🤞

[@80884bpresley]

Wow! The boat is so nice! Tricked out for sure. Can't wait to see how it does on the water. Looks so good. The other anglers are going to be shitting when the cover comes off at the ramps. Now all you got to do is figure all that stuff out and Win the first few tournaments!!! Y'all are an awesome team.

[@scottjacopian3191]

For $150,000, it looks damn good😂

[@MillikenFishing]

Haha man I'm gonna give it my best. Definitely levels to everything. If i can get a handful of checks this year I'll be heading in the right direction!

[@nicholaslally9724]

So excited for you, you MFer. Cant wait to see you in the classic and elite series. Congrats man. Go crush it.

[@joeparker7508]

Future of the biz all the young guns . Nice boat BEN

[@normanrobinson5238]

Im happy for you, excited and anxious for the new season to start! Best of luck to you!

[@nickstanislaus]

Great Job! I can recommend Mealey Marine as well. They did my powerhouse install super clean as well. Good luck this year my man!

[@bradmclaurin3025]

Congrats, Ben! Living the dream, all the hard work is paying off! Stay humble, and don't second guess yourself and you will do great. Not sure how crazy I am about all the triangles compartments on the boat, but it is a sweet ride for sure!

[@Got_Em_Coach_Fishing]

I love the insight you give when it comes to tournament fishing. Keep up the good work rooting for ya 100%

[@Donnyboyy]

Let’s go Ben rooting for you in the classic 👍

[@BadersBassin]

That things SICK!! Can’t wait to see you winning tourneys in the bass cat!!

[@michaelboydoutdoors736]

Sick boat, sick install. Mealey Marine FTW!

[@MealeyMarine]

Big bass boyd!

[@tylerdawsonmusic]

Randy’s gonna be big mad 😂

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

He’s already had a heart attack. You can go see him at his local hospital 😂

[@386bassintv2]

So excited for this dude , THE FUTURE!

[@T_J_Fishin]

Wow I thought I was the only one that ran a 54" shaft because the 45" sucks in choppy water. Atleast I have never heard someone say it. Stone Cold Awesome rig ! You will win so often this year and I am going to claim you will win the next Classic in 2024 !!

[@cscheatum]

Such a sick rig!!! Can’t wait to watch you this season! Go get it Miliken!!

[@kennyhaworth9606]

Great looking set up Does your boat cover fit with the trolling motor being moved Good luck

[@johnrice9121]

The new setup looks awesome. Good luck this year. You have a bright future in bass fishing. Very talented young man.

[@cameroncreamerfishing]

absolutely badass! know you'll crush it this year man... I was 100% expecting you to have some NBT destroyer screens up front for Livescope. Great setup, and excited to see you in a bass cat.

[@robertrader5008]

Awesomeness Ben!! Huge Congratulations ‼️‼️‼️ Just an Incredible Set up!! Man... Have a Blessed Year! Keep Rocking Brother 🎣🎣

[@seeliteleds]

Turned out awesome! Those SEEBRAKES are lookin good!

[@johnhaney9440]

I could only dream of having a boat like that. Great job Ben. I'm happy for you

[@fishing2470]

Dude, that's an absolute rig!! NICE BOAT BUDDY! I'm looking forward to seeing more videos of all the cool ass stuff on it work.

[@Rusty____Shackleford]

Basically what you’re saying… is basscats are played out like garbage and you have to move everything if you want to rig it like Ben. 👏

[@D.A.1karp]

Watch the Mealey renovation of a 361-V, great representation of craftsmanship

[@yrdGBA]

New Boat is SICK Dude! cant wait to see it on the water

[@chrishanlon6550]

Good luck in the elite series!! Bring on those tournament videos. Guess I’ll have to pick you in my fantasy lines now.

[@dannybailey5477]

Another great video sir, they did an excellent job on the installs as well. I can't wait for the video of the maiden voyage. Good luck to you this year sir I'll definitely be watching and rooting for you. Just curious, what do you think the top speed will be loaded down.

[@MealeyMarine]

Thank you sir

[@Jon_Consford]

Bad A$$!!! MM is awesome did my scope, wiring, dual bow and console setup!! Can't wait to see her purrrrr! Let's Go!!!❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@MealeyMarine]

Thanks Jon!

[@mjheggie2]

BadA$$ bro!! Rooting for ya bigtime! Can’t wait to follow you on this journey man, LFG 💪🏻🎣

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Congratulations Ben, we're ready to brake some Jaws, catch'um up.

[@scottalspach8020]

My wife and have our cabin booked for the Classic. With your Toledo Bend win that qualified you for the Classic, correct?

[@kevincrocker8479]

That’s an incredible setup.

[@genemcdonald4430]

Great looking rig , looking forward to seeing you out on the water.

[@coty7228]

I thought for sure you woulda had the 22’ battle ship graph, man did it turn out sweet.

[@scarcheer7211]

That BC Puma is bad ass! Good luck this year in the Elite’s!

[@joeydeborahelkins1780]

Do you send 16 volts to your live scope box and monitor?

[@MealeyMarine]

Yes

[@joeydeborahelkins1780]

What is the max volts can you send to them?

[@jerodjmoore]

Damn that’s sweet--gman said it well when he suggested you will take the classic. Your dedication and commitment is so friggin apparently…and a true promoter of the sport’s evolution ….i can’t wait for lake Champlain this year to see this rig and maybe get to meet you man. Kick some mf’n ass….hold on while shooting footage Coleslaw!!!

[@denisgoulding4004]

well done- great looking boat, all the best this season from Ireland

[@ryanschultz4119]

Have you named your new boat yet, Ben..? My suggestion would be something simple like "Black Cat". Because of its color, and having the brand name Puma. Dope bass boat!👍

[@jasonmausteller2488]

What made you switch out the 16” garmin for the nbt?

[@ironcladangling1576]

"This is my office" LFGGGGG good luck this season Ben!

[@maxcole3930]

Sick set up! The crappie brakes look interesting, never seen them before? Ive fished from a pedal drive kayak last 10 yrs. Last January I finally bought some electronics. Ultra 106sv, steady cast, & lvs34 system. It's been an awesome set up. I use perspective mode most of the time. I need take more time to learn forward.

[@80884bpresley]

Definitely pulling for you man. The bass master in my book love the channel.

[@ZZ430T56]

Just amazing! GL with it and the season. Curious what mounts you used for the LS transducers to the TM shaft? I know the Perspective one really needs to be adjustable for different depths of water, and obviously zero degree for the Forward one. Ty

[@courtneycollins9402]

Awesome set up

[@trevorjohnson33]

Beautiful set up What made you get rid of the ram and get a Chevy ??

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Free

[@badbirdlm]

Love it! Once you get comfortable with the rear brakes, you will love it! Also, being able to cover more water faster is key! I love mine.

[@Fshnfool]

Rick pierce will have sh-t himself when he sees all those engineering moves you made on the bow! That thing probably won’t do 70 mph😅!

[@MealeyMarine]

I'm scared he'll call us...

[@SomedudeKenny]

😂 Ya'll are good 👍

[@rickpierce8090]

@@MealeyMarine only to help out… you guys did what you could. Just some learning for ya’!

[@inaslump]

Nice ride.. Get a sock for the wires on the trolling motor..thats a mess...

[@MealeyMarine]

Didn't have any in-stock

[@poles38]

Wow! That’s set up! Gonna look good with a Big Blue Trophy on that Deck!

[@curtisfairman6239]

Awesome boat Ben ! Good luck with the tournament’s !!

[@rodcashman4793]

Best of luck this season you'll do awesome. Sharp set up.

[@shawndulany4287]

So sick to see you finally getting to reap some of the rewards of your dedication man!!! You really are one of the most driven individuals on the You Tubes for sure the amount of dedication that you show on a daily basis is incredible and it shows that anyone that wants it enough can get it if they give it their all. Thanks for all you do and everything you teach man. Wishing you the best of luck in the Classic and this coming year. I know you will crush this year no doubt. I will be cheering you on from southwestern Pa brother let’s gooooo!!!!!

[@jones1394]

Can you tell us why your transducer is on reverse the LVS34??????

[@sandman70131]

Dang man I counted at least 30k just in accessories, that had to be at least 40k with labor and wiring spent in 4-5days! I can only dream but very nice boat. Love the bass cats.

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

That boat to buy as is right now is around 165,000

[@nathanielgay3]

❤ can’t wait for the rookie year dude! Go do the damn thingggg 💪🍾

[@JoshMoore424]

Ben and Coleslaw - just a quick thanks for making well thought out quality walk through vids of this rig. Bass Cat is VERY lucky to have you representing and showcasing their brand. Aside from you guys and Hunter Shryock - almost all the other pro “walk through” videos are horrible and almost unwatchable. John Crews, MDJ and others I like should have their rides revoked after watching their horrible vids. If that’s the amount of effort they put into representing the thing that literally makes them their living I sure as heck wouldn’t sponsor them. Keep it up fellas!

[@Kiomanche]

Honest question, how do you see over the electronics to drive?

[@codyfinn7649]

Super pumped for you dude! All of that stuff is badass! I'd say they made a little bit of money off of you. I'm ready to see how you do in the 1st tourney. You make catching fish look so easy with that livescope. For me it's not near that easy. I'd love to spend the day or Rayburn or Toledo with you picking your brain. Good luck and thanks for all of the interesting content.

[@mellowman8695]

The amount they charge for bass boats, you should honestly get a lot more features. Bass boat prices are insane. They cost more than I paid for my 5 bedroom 3 bath home.

[@B1GE2]

This boat is so fucking mint dude. Love to see how far you’ve come in the industry from the old stratos. Can’t wait to watch you at grand in the classic.

[@Brownshabsfan]

This boat is incredible! I can barley even keep up on the technology anymore. I can only guess what this would cost to buy. 😮 good for you Benny Boy!

[@Everydayfishing]

Sweet set up man. Pretty interested to see how those crappie breaks factor in when you’re out there ‘scoping!

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Bass cats > everything. They ride like ya granddaddy’s caddy. So underrated by the general public.

[@PaulAOwens-ks5fi]

I can’t wait to see your reaction on the water bro!! Sick boat for a sick fisherman!!

[@josephcrowder8314]

What a perfect storm brewing. Let's add momentum, best boat, and his home land for the classics... ummm you bet!!

[@Hillhouse_Fishing]

Super hyped to see you in a cat they’re definitely one of the best built boats on the market

[@greenpighunter6930]

That's a Bad Ass ride Ben. Get it.

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

I called it Milliken is running Bass Brakes!!!

[@billhill33584]

WoW! Just wow. Beautiful rig 😮

[@80884bpresley]

Wow!!! Badass for sure man.

[@mikebham4638]

Def a bad ass boat but I got a question then power poles I never see anyone using them ever how often do you use them when fishing?

[@lucasmastin7070]

It’s great how you just speak your mind

[@ThomasShue]

I would love to rig boats full time in Kansas City, just not enough folks wanting pro boat riggers. They did a decent job, the wiring with that many rings going to the posts is a bit SUS. Distribution blocks (gold plated and fused) is the way to go for clean installs

[@Nehringer1]

Bro, can you even see over those 16's at the helm? I have a 12" on my CX-19, and I have to hike up in the seat sometimes to see over it. Maybe you can install a TV/FLIR camera on the bow that will display on the helm graph!

[@leeperkins2956]

Congrats boat is sick. Along way from the ice fishing video. Cant wait for the season to start..

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Beautiful rig ! Don’t know if you run a cover a lot or if your getting a custom made one but I suppose they can go around how far your MinnKota sticks out past the gunnel but I’m sure they can make it to fit. Also how would get in the boat from the front ? A lot of stuff going on there ! Hopefully I’ll see it in person at the Harris event I’m a Marshal for that one 👍👍 Good Luck this year !!

[@MillikenFishing]

haha good point...probably won't fit but oh well. It's a boat...it can get wet.

[@cgriff840]

Hell yeah, you baaddd.. let’s get your first run vlog tomorrow

[@timothylane457]

My dream boat !!!! I know your gonna enjoy this one

[@Connor-zb4uo]

You've came so far man, So excited to see you fish the chain near my house with the elites!
